Chicago

AutoCAD, Photoshop  |  2023  |  Set design for Quadramics Theatre Company

For a well-known show like Chicago, I designed this set to juxtapose the industrial boom of the 1920s with puppet show theatricality.  I included modular cell bar handrails and platforms for use in a Chicago parody show a few weeks later, altered by embellishments like rounded curtains and marquee lights.
